This venue is breathtaking! We fell in love with the large oak tree for an outdoor ceremony and loved the historic features of the manor including the oak bar. The set up is fantastic and allowed for many different picturesque photo opportunities to capture our wedding day.

Shanna, Juan, and the entire Dubsdread team made our wedding go so smoothly. We planned an outdoor ceremony, and they perfectly executive flipping everything indoors when rain came our way. Our family had nothing but amazing things to say about the food and drinks the entire night. The hotel was so convenient next doors which my friends and family also loved. Thank you so much for everything!

The biggest thanks to Shanna our coordinator for seeing the vision & executing it to perfect. Thank you Juan for taking care of us and kept refilling my husband on sweet tea. Thank you to the Chefs that made our dinner. It was soo delicious and all of our guest raved about it all night. We are still talking about the food and wishing we had more.

the open house all the way through leaving our reception was incredible- the team at Highland Manor is so attentive, personable, and very clearly love what they do. Juan took care of me like he had known me my whole life, and Kristen, our day of coordinator, took every worry out of my hands (and even went out of her way to reassure me about concerns I had with another vendor)- she was so organized and well-prepared. Working with Kristen was a joy and the Highland Manor team made our wedding day absolutely magical.

We had the absolute best experience with Highland Manor and Dubsdread Catering! From the moment we stepped onto the property for our first tour with Michelle, we were blown away. T...
he venue is stunning—the historic charm, the gorgeous oak tree, and the warm, romantic feel of the space made it everything we could’ve dreamed of and more.
Michelle was so helpful and welcoming from day one, walking us through open houses and answering every question during the planning process. When we transitioned to David, who was both our planner and day-of coordinator, we knew we were in excellent hands. He was organized, calm, and genuinely cared about making our day stress-free and perfect.
The day of our wedding, the weather didn’t cooperate, and we had to make a last-minute switch from an outdoor ceremony to indoors. David and the team made it happen without a hitch—moving the reception tables aside and using the chairs from the tables to set up a beautiful indoor ceremony layout. It didn’t feel like a backup plan at all—it looked intentional and beautiful.
The entire staff was incredibly professional—from the servers to the bartenders, everyone was friendly, attentive, and on point all night. A special thank you to Yolanda, our head waitress/butler, who truly went above and beyond. She followed us around with my dress to ensure it wasn't getting wet, brought us drinks all evening without us ever having to ask, and made sure we had plates from the buffet, cake, and anything else we needed. She made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish.
And the food? Wow. Our guests still haven’t stopped talking about how good it was. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There was a great variety, and it was easily the best wedding food we've ever had.
If you’re considering Highland Manor and Dubsdread Catering—do it. The venue is breathtaking, the team is exceptional, and they made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable. We can’t recommend them enough!

Our day was magical and flawless, despite being between two hurricanes, thanks to Kristen, Omar and Juan - our team. They were at our beck and call with graciousness. And, the food was so good! Our guests raved about it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We highly recommend Highland Manor and its team of professionals. The BEST day ever!

I couldn’t be happier with everything that happened on our wedding day and it all started with the Highland Manor. Tens! Tens! Tens across the board! (Even though I can only give 5 stars).

My husband and I were having a tough time finding a wedding venue that really matched our vision, until we found The Highland Manor! The manor is beautiful, inside and out. The hug...
e tree that you get married under is stunning. It is literally 20 feet from the Hilton Garden Inn Apopka City Center, which we found very convenient and safe for anyone having a few drinks to walk on over and spend the night. The Highland Manor is a well oiled machine, from your first tour until cleanup on the wedding night. And if you are doing their complimentary food tasting after booking with them, I cannot stress this enough, come HUNGRY because they give you SO much food to try.
The person I want to highlight the most is Kristen, who was our day-of coordinator. From the moment Kristen was assigned to be our coordinator, she was absolutely amazing. She answered all of my detailed questions that I emailed, she corralled my wedding party like a champ during the rehearsal, and she made my life incredibly easy on the day of the wedding. She was super responsive anytime I texted her that the decorations or desserts or what-have-you were on their way, and she made my vision for the decorations come to life with basically no direction to go on because I failed to provide her pictures LOL. We can't thank Kristen enough. I also want to highlight Juan, who was our butler for the evening. Juan was absolutely perfect and so helpful. Before and after your ceremony, you are provided complimentary beverages by your assigned butler, and Juan made sure we were constantly taken care of! He also held my bouquet and train of my dress while I enjoyed a few moments of eating appetizers and having some sips of champagne in between all the pictures after the ceremony.
As someone who stresses a lot and did not decide to have a wedding planner, I know we made the perfect choice with The Highland Manor for our ceremony and reception. They are the true professionals and made sure we had nothing to worry about from day one through even after the wedding day.
One final thing - there is a peacock that roams the grounds named Frank (or Mark). You might just be lucky enough to see him on your big day!

orations, to wooden bars, this place is rustic and old world beautiful. I thought my dream of a classic wedding was impossible in FL, and then I found this place! Communication was unreal. Within an hour or two I could get all of my many questions answered. They were great at making changes where needed, and were a dream to work with. They have their own catering company, so there is one less vendor to find- Dubsdread Catering. When you book the venue, you are assigned a day of coordinator, which is built into the price. David was very knowledgable, and very easy going. He was fun to work with. Day of he knew exactly what I wanted, and didn’t bother me at all. He stayed on time day of, despite my family trying to make us late, and adapted the time-lime on the fly when we wanted to spend a few more minutes chatting with everyone. The venue and staff are friendly, hard working, and professional. They truly made our day beautiful! I will gladly use them for my celebration needs in the future.

There was plenty of space to get ready if we were to have gotten ready at the venue. Plenty of space for our guests to hang out before the wedding.
Very beautiful property and wonderful staff.
They have options to get married outside or inside. We chose outside. The outside spot has a big tree the couple can get married under. Inside is a big ball room. We were able to sneak inside and see the reception hall before the guest got to see it. This made for such a magical moment.

The day of, we had a wonderful butler, Juan, who made sure we had food, drinks, and anything else we needed. Their food is also absolutely delicious.

Bonny made it her mission to give us a wedding we would never forgot. The attention to detail and her overall leadership made us know we were in great hands. Juan was there for us every step of the way and we can't thank him enough for making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day/night. They are truly an incredible crew. Of course we can't forget to mention the culinary team! They knocked it out of the park with the food cooked that night. Our friends still talk about how great their meal was and how it was "the best steak dinner they have ever experienced." The venue was stunning. The staff was family for the night. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

He made sure the whole wedding party was always taken care of and I have to say their attention to detail and support was beyond impressive.

thing organized and running smoothly especially when one of our younger more excitable guests decided to pull the fire alarm. We ended up getting a great photo with the firetruck. Regardless I could not speak more highly of him. Our butler, Juan, was very attentive and kept the bridal party cups full and food plentiful. Many of our friends we spoke too always told us they were not able to fully enjoy the food at their wedding, but that was not the case for us. Both David and Juan kept guard to allow us time to eat and enjoy a little down time before the reception really kicked off. David and Juan did a fantastic job, but the food! The food was incredible. Dubsdread really has a great cooking and waiting staff. Deciding the menu was easy with the tasting offered prior to our wedding day. The Chef was very accommodating when we asked for them to prepare a special cultural dish. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend The Highland Manor for anyone to celebrate their special day. We hope in the future we can come back as guest to enjoy this place again.

Our coordinator David was a super hero, ensuring everything went off without a hitch, including switching over our florals from the ceremony to reception. It was terrible weather all afternoon, but David found the one 20-minute window where the skies cleared so we could have our ceremony outdoors as planned and we will forever be grateful to the whole team's commitment to making our ceremony happen under the oak tree as we had envisioned. The service is excellent, and whatever you do...get the spinach and artichoke mushrooms!

the reception. Highland Manor has a brand new Hilton Garden Inn next door which makes it easy for guests to stay in one location for the weekend. David did a great job as our coordinator and made sure we were happy every step of the way. David took the time to sit down with us, answering questions, and making sure our day was special. Highland Manor also provides a butler for the couple and they did a fantastic job of making sure we were fed and had a drink in our hands at all times. The staff at Dubsdread Catering were very responsive and helpful when we had questions.
Overall we would recommend Highland Manor but will warn that prices may change without notice (even after you sign paperwork). Additionally they changed their policy last minute and started charging a credit card fee which was not part of the original contract.

ick, efficient, and helpful. David, our coordinator, was quick to respond to the many email questions I sent before the big day. You can trust them because they know how to plan a wedding! The only inconvenience was that since they do have multiple events the same day, we were only allowed on site 2 hours before the ceremony started. So as a bride, this was not nearly enough time to get ready in or even enjoy the bridal suite before having to take pictures. I ended up having to pay for a couple nights for the hotel suite next door so I and my bridal party could have a place for hair and makeup to set up the morning of the wedding. Having the hotel next door, however, was a huge perk for us and our guests loved it. The bridal butler (also named David) was very attentive (we were told it never happens, but we actually got to eat at our wedding!!!). The food was fantastic! Several of our guests are in the culinary world and they were a bit annoyed that the venue's food was better than their own cooking, which is a HUGE compliment coming from them.

. The newly built Hilton hotel right next to the venue really sealed the deal too! The whole venue is gorgeous inside and out, I especially loved the bridal suite room and the pool table for the groomsmen. And that ceremony oak tree is so pretty!! My guests were raving about how much they loved the venue and how unique it was, which made me so happy. They also raved about the quality of the food, it was soo good! I loved that the catering was built in to the venue cost, so that we didn't have to hire an outside food vendor. Our personal server on the wedding day, Juan, was incredible- always right there for anything we needed and ready to offer food and drinks, which was great because it's so easy to forget to eat on your wedding! Bonny and her whole team really did such an incredible job helping our wedding vision come to life. Can't reccomend Highland Manor enough! :)

We were lucky to get Bonny as our coordinator for the event - and she took all my words and ideas coupled with the different boxes of decorations/pictures and it was all perfect and breathtaking. She had my vision down to a T. As our tasting we met Juan, he and my now husband hit it off as if old friends, he was with us on our day and he made us feel well taken care of. The whole staff there are knowledgeable about the planning so you feel everyone is ready to help. This is a definite win. We had nothing to worry about and enjoyed our day.

Beautiful location, delicious food, and perfect execution. A bride couldn't ask for more on her wedding day! My now husband is from Apopka and always wanted to get married at this ...
venue. They made the entire process seemless. The in-house catering and coordination is perfect, and their list of preferred vendors is spot on. We were able to find the best cake baker, DJ, and beauty in the area through them. If I were to do it all over again, I would happily still choose Highland Manor and Dubsdread Catering!

Where can I start? The venue may not look like much on photos, but let me tell you once you walk in and see that amazing tree by the lake and the ballroom, you just fall in love. I...
n all honesty I had looked at this place a while before I actually scheduled a tour, and to be honest it was not on my top 5, but when we got there and saw it with our own eyes, we both knew this was the place. The venue is spectacular, the staff is amazing! Please please ask for JUAN, he will make your night an even better one, He was there for us at every second, he helped with my dress, veil and we never had an empty glass. Brian is an amazing and fun bartender too, and I am sure your guest will love him just as much as you will. David was our coordinator, he was the perfect wedding planner. He was knowledgeable, responsive, organized and he just knew how to make our vision come to life. Go by the venue, trust me you will not regret it.

Highland Manor was the perfect wedding location. Bonny and the Highland Manor team gave us our dream wedding. The location was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff was a...
mazing. The only thing I would suggest is more "crowd control". When we did our first look guests were wondering around the house and instead of it being a private moment we had an audience. Other than that things were perfect. We would recommend Highland Manor without doubt.

We had such a beautiful wedding and reception. As soon as we saw the Highland Manor venue, we knew it was the one! My dream was always to get married a large oak tree. Although it ...
began raining right when our ceremony was to begin and we had to do our ceremony inside, it was still perfect. The vintage look was awesome!
FYI, they have sales frequently so take a look at their Instagram page if you are booking in advance and wait for 50% off booking or other discounts!

This venue is AMAZING. We knew from the moment we toured here that it was the venue for us. Everything throughout the entire planning process was a breeze. Wedding planning can be ...
so challenging but the team at Highland Manor make it easy. They communicate with you every step of the way, taking care of everything. We trusted them 100% the day of and they didn't disappoint. They took SUCH amazing care of us that our wedding day went smooth without a single road block. (and even if there was...we didn't know and it was handled!) Cannot recommend a better venue! Plus, if you have guests from out of town, the hotel being steps away is IDEAL!
